Who Am I?

Hello there,
I'm Steve, and welcome to Twenty First Century Nomad.
For over twenty years I've been traveling and working my way around the globe, living life and learning all I can about anything and everything, myself included. I created this website two years ago in order to discuss my thoughts and feelings about some of the places I’ve visited and the things I've done, and also to showcase my travel writing and photography. There will be plenty of adventures and misadventures along the way.
I hope you’ll join me on my continuing journey in the pursuit of everything.
Cheers,
Steve
